What comes out at night
Red-eyed tree frog
Near still water, best after rain.
Eyelash viper
Photographed from a safe distance the guide sets.
Spectacled caiman
In the reserve's ponds on many nights.
Gladiator treefrog
Calls from the ponds.
Basilisk
Sleeps on branches over streams.
Through the scope
Kinkajous and two-toed sloths up close, with phone photos.
Nothing is guaranteed: a night walk is a search, not a show.

Questions
Is the night tour inside Manuel Antonio National Park?
No. The park does not allow night visits. The tour runs on the private trails of the Sukia reserve next to the park, same forest, legal night access.
How much is the Manuel Antonio night tour?
$50 per adult shared, $75 per adult private. Children 3–12 pay $40 and $65.
What is included?
Reserve entrance, certified naturalist guide, Swarovski scope, guide lighting, a flashlight for every guest, free 4K photos and round-trip transport in Quepos and Manuel Antonio.
What time does it start?
After sunset, close to 5:30 p.m. all year. It lasts about 2 to 3 hours.
Does it run on Tuesdays and in the rain?
Yes to both. It does not depend on the national park, and rain brings the frogs out.
Do I need a SINAC ticket?
No.
